Reverse of a medal commemorating the brilliant comet of November 1618.
Reverse of a medal commemorating the brilliant comet of November 1618. The message says that God sent us the starry comet as a warning to us to lead better lives. This comet prompted many pamphlets, including Galileo Galilei's (1564-1642) polemical masterpiece Il Saggiatore (The Assayer). (Rome, 1623).
